Green Chemical Syntheses and Processes

In Green Chemical Syntheses and Processes; Anastas, P., et al.; ACS Symposium Series; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 2000.


Dedication

A founding co-chair, of the Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference, from which this book is derived, was named after Dr. Joseph J. Breen. Joe Breen was an inspiration to people around the world because of the passion and enthusiasm with which he articulated the need and the goals of green chemistry and engineering for sustainability. Joe's premature death in the summer of 1999 is a tragedy to all who knew him and a loss to the causes he championed. This book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Joseph J. Breen.

Foreword THE ACS SYMPOSIUM SERIES was first published in 1974 to provide a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The purpose of the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books developed from ACS sponsored symposia based on current scientific research. Occasionally, books are developed from symposia sponsored by other organizations when the topic is of keen interest to the chemistry audience. Before agreeing, to publish a book, the proposed table of contents is reviewed for appropriate and comprehensive coverage and for interest to the audience. Some papers may be excluded in order to better focus the book; others may be added to provide comprehensiveness. When appropriate, overview or introductory chapters are added. Drafts of chapters are peer-reviewed prior to final acceptance or rejection, and manuscripts are prepared in camera-ready format. As a rule, only original research papers and original review papers are included in the volumes. Verbatim reproductions of previously published papers are not accepted. ACS BOOKS DEPARTMENT
